<h1 id="double_cup">double_cup</h1>
<p>:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}</p>
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<p>Applies a syrupy, slowed, woozy audiovisual effect reminiscent of “purple drank” aesthetics.<br />
The look emphasizes heavy color bleeding, slowed-feeling motion, chromatic haze, and a dreamlike viscosity often associated with chopped-and-screwed culture or psychedelic video distortion.</p>
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">double_cup</code> is ideal for creators who want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>introduce trippy, codeine-inspired visual atmosphere,</li>
<li>slow or drag the <em>feeling</em> of motion without modifying frame rate,</li>
<li>add soft-focus color diffusion with deep purples and magentas,</li>
<li>evoke vaporwave, cloud-rap, chopped/screwed, or intoxicated digital moods,</li>
<li>distort clarity into a smeared, syrup-soaked texture.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Color Drenching</strong><br />
Highlights and midtones are pushed toward purple, pink, and magenta tones.</li>
<li><strong>Soft Haze / Bloom</strong><br />
The image takes on a velvety, low-contrast haze that reduces sharp edges.</li>
<li><strong>Viscous Motion Sensation</strong><br />
Motion may <em>feel</em> slower due to subtle temporal diffusion and blending, even if FPS remains constant.</li>
<li><strong>Contrast Flattening</strong><br />
Dark areas may lift while bright areas smear into a syrup-glow.</li>
<li><strong>Encoding</strong><br />
Output is written using global Videobeaux codec and quality settings.</li>
</ol>

<h2 id="technical-notes">Technical Notes</h2>
<ul>
<li>The effect pairs best with footage containing midtone gradients or neon lighting.</li>
<li>Compression interacts strongly with this aesthetic — higher CRF values intensify smearing and color wash.</li>
<li>Strong purples and pinks may clip if global gamma settings are aggressive; consider pre-processing with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">gamma_fix</code>.</li>
<li>Works especially well in music video contexts.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>
<ul>
<li>Vaporwave, cloud rap, chopped-and-screwed visuals.</li>
<li>Psychedelic edits and dream-sequence overlays.</li>
<li>Live VJ loops and projection-mapped environments.</li>
<li>Mood-setting transitions between high-energy and slow-motion scenes.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="quality-tips">Quality Tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use a lower CRF (higher quality) to retain smooth haze gradients.</li>
<li>Combine with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">blur_pix</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_contrast</code> for more degraded, syrup-soaked textures.</li>
<li>For extreme purple saturation, apply <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">lut_apply</code> with a magenta-heavy LUT before this effect.</li>
<li>If the image feels too dark, pair with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">gamma_fix</code> for lifted midtones before applying <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">double_cup</code>.</li>
</ul>
